Narrator has a good voice for the character but needs to control or edit out his swallowing sounds! I would enjoy many more in this series except I can't tolerate the sound any more. I couldn't even finish the story. Too bad.

Leaves a bit to be desired, but worth it!
Somehow, the second installment didn't captivate me quite as swiftly as the first one did.
This book is another well-written insight to the urban fantasy of Butcher's universe, and still worth checking out if you enjoyed the first book. Marsters is still the perfect casting choice for the narration and I thoroughly enjoyed his performance. Would I call it a worthy sequel, though? Not quite.
Writing-wise, I feel as if too many new characters and plot threads were introduced to make the plot sufficiently compelling. Murphy, who was one of my favourite characters in the first installment, feels like a caricature of herself, here--the once-endearing character traits of a strong moral compass and lawful stubbornness overblown to offer little more than annoying interruptions and obstacles for Dresden at the most inconvenient times. Marconi also felt like a shade of his former self, his eerie sense of unmatched power, influence, and greed now an unfounded joke in light of the plot's progression. The majority of new characters introduced felt flat and one-dimensional, only present to serve very specific roles in the carefully crafted outline of the mystery.
Agent Denten, on the other hand, was fantastically written! He was realistic, formidable, strong, and fabulously intimidating. One of my favourite parts of the book was the soulgaze he exchanged with Dresden--what an awe-inspiring turn of prose. Without giving too much away, his role was the highlight of this story for me, and I honestly feel as if the addition of the weaker cast mates on his team diluted his impact as a character.
I also really enjoyed Susan's character development and the development of her relationship with Dresden, as well. She was fleshed out a bit more, given a bit more personality and motivation and agency, and I love her all the more for it. I do hope we get to see more of her and Dresden in the future.
All in all, this was still an entertaining read! I will definitely be continuing the series as I am excited to see where Dresden's adventures take him next.

A Wizard as he would be in the REAL WORLD...
Just a regular guy, but he's a Wizard. Not a fantasy story, not a fantasy world. Well written by a great story teller. Well narrated; not over the top or overly dramatic, and certainly not monotone or dreary, simply telling the story of what happened. I personally appreciate when the narrator let's the story speak for its self... well done, gimme more.

It's alright
The story and world is good I feel, learing about and seeing how Harry goes about magic in its own right is written well. However, there is far too much gratuitous explanations about how all the women are either slender, sensual, or oozing sexuality, even the descriptions near the end of the book are too much to handle at times. I've heard the books after are good but there seems to be far too much fanboying over these seemingly 10/10 bombshells that Harry meets on a day to day basis.

Awful, just awful
I wanted to quit this book so many times but I powered through it, this is a series that has been recommended to me over and over again. I really hope it gets better soon or I am quitting.
There are some good things here, but they are utterly undone by frustrating and annoying characters. Somewhere around the 50th time Dresden slipped into a "poor me" monologue of him blaming himself for things that are usually in no way his fault, I decided that he might be the whiniest character I have ever read. But at least he is somewhat redeemable, with his never give up attitude, no matter what is in front of him he just keeps going and fighting. Which is good because the other annoying quality to his character in this book is he is always almost dead, from almost go in this book he is always one inch from death, which would be a great tension builder if it wasn't so overused here. But the thing about this book that made me want to hurl my headphones across the room is Murphy, she is one of the most infuriating and insufferable characters I have ever put up with in a book. She is way too much of a hot headed to be remotely believable as the great detective that Dresden says she is. The second something supernatural happens that Dresden didn't tell her about she is punching, trying to arrest him, or saying she can't trust him. Jim Butcher does such a huge disservice to what should be a strong female character by making her unreasonable and distrusting, and the only reason he does this is to advance the plot. If Murphy and Dresden are working together the plot of this book is resolved much easier and quicker, so she is turned into a character whose death I wished for on every page just to push the plot along. The next book in this series better be worlds better or I think I am done. This is the worst book I have suffered through in years.

One of the best books I've read in a long time!
I first discovered The Dresden Files series on NetFlix and was instantly hooked. I was nervous about reading Jim Butcher's books after seeing the series, worrying that my preconceptions and possible knowledge of plotlines might take away from the experience, but there's so much more to the characters and stories that I didn't even think of the TV series as I listened. Wonderful characters, wonderful stories, wonderful prose. I liked Marster's narration better in the second book. In fact, as much as I loved the first book, I found the second far more enjoyable, suspenseful, and thought provoking.

I'm liking Harry more and more
I was looking for another engaging series to try after reading all of Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse books and found Jim Butcher's books.
Harry Dresden, a wizard/detective in Chicago, is a very quirky, compelling main character who gets himself in one unbelievable predicament after another. I found the writing style of this second Dresden book to be decidedly improved from the first (Storm Front). Although there is still some hackneyed detective-genre prose to make me cringe at times, I am won over by Jim Butcher's talent for painting these characters, creating an intriguing paranormal universe, and some twisty-turny storylines that keep you guessing.
Fool Moon (nice pun, BTW) is about Harry's search to discover the source of a recent spate of killings, presumably by a werewolf. You will learn more about the different flavors of werewolf than you ever thought you wanted to know, and how they kill their prey (warning: not for the squeamish!)
I'm going to download the rest of the Dresden series because I just have to know what happens next to Harry and how he'll get out of it!

Ridiculously frustrating main character
Narrator: James Marsters does a masterful job in the story telling.
Story: I generally like stories involving the supernatural. I’ve found the Dresden File stories I’ve gone thru so far (first three) to be unbelievably frustrating. I don’t see how an author can write a character who is suppose to be a more Intelligent one (wizards are suppose to generally possess an above average intelligence) be so absolutely stupid!?!? The Character of Harry Dresden acts more like a brain addled barbarian then then astute wizard. I find this portrayal to be so frustrating that I’ve given up on reading or listening to anymore of these stories.

Another great novel of the Dresden Files
This novel is a turning point in the series. It is the second book in the Dresden Files and paves a strong foundation for turning a fairly light fantasy series into a substantial series with characters that live and breath. Murphy and Dresden begin to define the kind of friendship that will blossom into something very special.
Harry becomes something a bit more than just a brooding wizard as he begins to realize his responsibilities not just to trying to make a living but to his friends and his community of wizards.
James Marsten continues his excellent talent of reading these books and I disagree with a previous review that his delivery was shaky. His performance was stronger than the first book, Storm Front, and it continues to get better through the rest of the series.
I hope Audible gets all of the series. You should, too!

Done with Mr. Dresden
Any additional comments?
I have to admit I came into The Dresden Files expecting something really great but in the end it really just isn't for me. Dresden is a bit of an ass and spends most of the book in an emo mess of self loathing about how everything wouldn't be so screwed up if he was just able to figure out the convoluted mystery sooner.
Then there is Karrin Murphy. Ms. Murphy is far to quick to just assume Dresden is an evil, murdering, bastard when in truth he is just a crappy friend who can't just tell her what is actually going on which is what she is paying him to do.
Oh and lets not forget Mr. Masters. The breathing, oh the breathing. Why in the world did the editor allow all of the damn breathing and swallowing to stay in the book? Don't get me wrong, it isn't half as bad as the first book but it really pulled me out of the story. At least the production value for this book was a bit better than the first because it didn't sound like a bootleg of a 1950s radio program.
Alas, I have to say that I really don't think I am going to continue the Dresden Files. I had high hopes but it really just seems like a chore to continue with the series. It isn't the worst thing in the world and I fully understand that a lot of people really love the series but it's just not for me.

Pity Party
Is there anything you would change about this book?
Dresden's moaning. He goes on about how its all his fault that other people have died. He is also on his last leg, yet has energy to save the day one more time. I think Butcher pushed it in this book.
Would you be willing to try another book from Jim Butcher? Why or why not?
Possibly, but if its another pity party - count me out of the Dresden series.
Which scene was your favorite?
Nothing comes to mind
Do you think Fool Moon needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No, because it would involve more self pity.
